Congratulations to Anupam Jena who successfully passed his candidacy exam in November!

Anupam is devising novel cooling strategies by developing a multipass cooling system integrated into gas turbine blades. The proposed cooling system outlined will undergo comprehensive examination through both experimental means by utilizing liquid crystal thermography, and numerical simulations. These efforts aim to reveal intricate details regarding the system's heat transfer capabilities and pressure drop characteristics. Finally, the shape of the system will be optimized numerically.
